There is no intense competition in the admission process of class 1. But in other classes one has to participate in 'admission test' for the chance of admission to this school. Usually students are admitted in class 1,6 and 9. Admission can be considered in other classes if vacancy is created. The admission test is taken usually in December after the 'Annual exam' ( also called yearly exam) of the school.

From the classes 4 to 10 the uniform is white shirt with full-length navy blue pants, white shoes and navy blue sweater (for winter only). The school's monogram is printed on the shirt's pocket.

Class and section system

When the schools was first planned it was envisaged that study would start from class 6 to class 10. During this time classes 1 to 5 were omitted, but were added in 1991.In every class have 3 sections.

Exam System & Result

There are two terms in a year. First one is 'Half-yearly' term (January - June) another one is 'Annual' term (July - December) . Students get their results digitally printed. The final result is announced taking 50% numbers from 'Half-yearly' term and 50% number from 'Annual' Term. [ Exception for class 5, 8 and 10. In case of these classes students sits for 'Test exam' instead of 'Annual exam' ]

Teachers-guardians conference

To make each students best from better, a conference is called where they discuss the problems of a student and how to remove those. Thus this school makes a good results in SSC, JSC and PEC

Library

The library has ancient and modern books which are not easily found everywhere. Most of them were bought by coeval sanctioned money during the establishment of the school. Others were bought by annually approved money. For the reason of Enam Committee the post 'librarian' was discontinued but now it is running under a teacher of this school.

School Magazine

The name of the magazine of the school is ANKUR. The magazine is not published regularly every year. It was last published in 2013. The school magazine is a historical document of the growth of the school. It informs the future generation of students about the traditions built up of their school. This valuable publication is the opportunity that students require to show their creative talents. Along with academic studies, students are encouraged in games and athletics, art and craft, science clubs, dramatics and various other activities. These make the years in school interesting and worth remembering. But intellectual activities like debates, elocution and essay-writing competitions are rarely found. The school magazine is the window to the activities of the school. Proper initiative by the teachers can help in improving the views and expressions of the students which in turn will raise the standard of the magazine.
